1. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency of our God. 3. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4. Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompence; he will come and save you.

Theological / Devotional

Desert shall rejoice. This chapter presents an inspired and inspiring picture of the earth in its restored state. The arid and waste regions of the world in its present state will be no more.

The rose. Heb. chabaṣṣeleth, thought by some to have been the narcissus, a popular wildflower of Palestine. Others have identified it with the crocus or primrose. Verses 1, 2 portray the beauty and fragrance of a land that blooms again after being freed from the curse of sin.
